Despite improvements in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), survival and neurologic recovery after cardiac arrest remain poor due to ischemia subsequent reperfusion injury. As the likelihood of favorable outcome decreases with increasing severity during CPR, developing methods measure magnitude is critical for improving overall outcomes. Cerebral oximetry, which measures regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) by near‐infrared spectroscopy, has emerged as a potentially beneficial marker...
Introduction: Reperfusion injury after cardiac arrest (CA) leads to poor survival and neurological outcomes. We hypothesized that a combination of pharmacologic neuroprotection therapies administered 24-72 hours post-CA [“combination therapy”] target key steps in reperfusion injury; 1) excitotoxicity (Magnesium, Memantine, Perampanel, Minocycline), 2) mitochondrial dysfunction (Thiamine, Coenzyme Q10), 3) oxidative stress (Vitamin C, Vitamin E), 4) inflammation (Hydrocortisone), would...
